I saw the show on Saturday and I was making the dish on Sunday. My mouth was watering after seeing the show. This recipe... was simple to make yet very delicious. I love the rich authentic flavor. I served my Ropa Vieja with white rice, black beans and ripe sweet plaintains. My 13 year old had seconds. It was amazing, one of the best dishes I've made by far. Thanks courtesy of Paula's Party and Chef Mytro.Read more

Reviewers Rock!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Had the show on yesterday while I was getting ready to go out. I was more hearing the show than watching it and the ropa... vieja sounded so good. What a disappointment when I came to print the recipe and saw that it asked for "dried ancho chile puree" and no directions for it. I thought, what's that? Then I went thru the reviews and saw that Joyce posted the recipe for the puree..Yay!! Now, I can't wait to try it.....Thanks Joyce!! and thank you to everyone who posts reviews..This is my first review ever on any website and now realize the importance of user feedback..Read more
